Shure MX410R/N Microflex 10" Gooseneck Microphone Cardioid with Light Ring

Product Overview

The Shure MX410R/N is a 10-inch gooseneck microphone with an integrated preamp and red LED light ring, supplied without a cartridge so integrators can specify the exact polar pattern for each room. Part of Shure's analog Microflex line, this commercial AV gooseneck microphone is built for permanent, discreet installation in boardrooms and conference rooms. Pair it with a Shure R183, R184, or R185 cartridge to set an omnidirectional, supercardioid, or cardioid pickup pattern.

Product Description

Designed for AV integrators and system designers, the MX410R/N is a surface-mount conference room microphone that installs into tables, lecterns, and podiums for fixed commercial deployments. The N designation means no cartridge is included, which lets you standardize on one microphone body across a project and choose the pickup pattern per seat or room. Because it includes the inline preamp, it connects directly to a balanced XLR input on an automatic mixer or DSP. CommShield RF filtering keeps speech clean near smartphones and wireless devices, and the red LED light ring provides clear talk and mute indication. Once fitted with a Microflex cartridge, it delivers focused, intelligible speech across the 50 Hz to 17 kHz range.

Key Features

• Integrated Preamp — The included preamp lets the microphone connect directly to a balanced XLR input, simplifying installation in fixed conference systems.
• No Cartridge Included — The body accepts R183 omnidirectional, R184 supercardioid, or R185 cardioid cartridges so integrators specify the pattern per application.
• Red LED Light Ring — A status ring provides clear, at-a-glance talk and mute indication for presenters and participants.
• 10-Inch Gooseneck — The flexible 254 mm gooseneck allows precise aiming at the talker while maintaining a clean, professional appearance.
• CommShield RF Filtering — Built-in RF rejection suppresses interference from nearby smartphones and wireless devices during meetings.
• Balanced Transformerless Output — The active-balanced XLR output maintains signal integrity over long cable runs typical of commercial AV installs.
• Surface-Mount Installation — The design mounts permanently into tables, lecterns, and podiums for clean, discreet integration.
• Project Standardization — A single cartridge-less body simplifies specifying and stocking across multi-room commercial deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the MX410R/N include a cartridge? No. It ships without a capsule so you can add a Shure R183 omnidirectional, R184 supercardioid, or R185 cardioid cartridge to set the pickup pattern.

Does it require a separate preamp? No. The R version includes the integrated preamp and connects directly to a balanced XLR input on a mixer or DSP.

How is it powered? It runs on standard 48 to 52 V phantom power supplied by the connected mixer, DSP, or audio interface.

How does it integrate into a commercial AV system? The balanced XLR output connects to automatic mixers, DSP processors, and Dante interfaces such as the Shure ANI4IN for installed conferencing with echo cancellation and gating.

Why choose the cartridge-less version? Specifying one body across a multi-room project simplifies procurement and lets each room use the optimal polar pattern.

Is it covered by a warranty? Yes. The microphone is backed by Shure's manufacturer warranty; contact Creation Networks for current warranty terms and technical support.
